That close to the blast, no immediate shelter, death from radiation inevitable one presumes.

Need to be in shelter before fallout starts. Protection factor 20 at least needed in your refuge.

Well I survived it. (The BBC thing that is) but then I am of a generation to remember "protect and survive" :) can't say I would be so lucky with "duck and cover" though.

One of the scariest moments in my life was in the 80's when the four minute warning accidentally went off in Coventry. I heard the sirens, tucked my head under the blankets and figured that if I was still here in four minutes time it would be a false alarm. What would you do?

Start bottling your urine. Pour over yourself during the blast and you will be fine. Failing that you will have something to drink instead of radioactive water. It's all scare mongering I really wouldn't worry. If it comes to nuclear war the best you can do is stick your head between your legs and kiss yr bottom goodbye. We will all die one day, how when or where is none of our business. If you spend your time worrying about it you will taint your quality of life now. Live like there's no tomorrow and stop worrying about stuff that hasn't yet or may never happen

Im safe, the separatists cant afford one.

And everything is so radioactive here that no one would notice anyway.

Tell that, to the Japanese

Tell what?

What happened to the Japanese is nothing compared to what could happen in a global nuclear war. Note I said "planet." And at the moment, it's hard to imagine a different scenario when it comes to the use of nuclear weapons today. If you want to hide in a hole in the ground, feel free and good luck. It's not for me. Don't forget your BOB.

I have 2 bottles of rum and a spare lawn chair. Join me.
There's nothing else to be concerned about.

To walk out into a nuclear blasted landscape, you will wish that you were on the roof with me.

Whatever the amount of doomsaying, end of it all etc, there are margins of survival in the event of a nuclear war. Bit of a throwback as we had all these discussions and fears in the sixties. . Funny thing was that although we didn't have the Social Media of today we did have discussions and the mind games of survival strategies similar to today and there was a weird sort of fun to be had from the speculation. The film Dr Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb sort of summed it up.
